1970 Dart Swinger FINALLY UNDERWAY
Been a little while since I posted an update, not a lot happening with the car till after christmas probably. I'm just waiting on my gallon of POR15 to come in so I can get at painting the K frame and all the other chassis parts.
Car is home now and in the garage. I'll be waiting until spring to do paint but the shop managed to finish up seam sealing, sprayed it with sealer, a coat of etch primer and guide coat it within my budget. Debating on either building some sawhorses or just supporting it with 4 big jackstands while I work underneath it assembling everything. Excited to have the car home now since really all I need to do no is build the engine and then assemble everything.
Had a bit of a hiccup bringing the car home, we had put it on a 4x4 dolly instead of putting the whole rotisserie on the rollback, didn't want the body to flex on the rotisserie. Well one of the legs on the dolly splintered on the way back so we ended up having to roll it off using a floor jack for a shade tree caster wheel replacement. :violent1:
My garage is getting a little messy again....:banghead:
